bags and other items.

and in an area which really is important for the future of our country, our
youth and education; it means something good is going on here in Ghana and you
are the reflection of it”, he stated whiles beaming with smiles.

looking at it in the context of the SDGs where your President is right there, inside
the SDGs as Co-Chair of the Group of Advocates; so I’m particularly happy to
seeing that the awareness of the SDGs has penetrated seriously into our
educational system and you are even responding in terms of finding solutions
that will advance the SDGs set of goals, it is excellent.”

“I want to congratulate all of you and to encourage you to do even more; our country needs your enthusiasm, it needs your energy, it needs your brilliance, your brains, all of it.”
